Roadmap 2021

[Norman Feske]

Hi Johannes,

thank you for chiming in!

All what you write is just perfectly aligned with my plans. That is so
cool to read.

Indeed. I'm secretly glimpsing towards Sailfish OS, which apparently
uses Qt5/QML as the basis for the application API. Since Genode supports
QML already, maybe we could explore the option to bridge the Sailfish
API to Genode, leveraging Goa? No concrete plan, just vague ideas.

While playing around with various distributions on the Pinephone, the
Morph browser of Ubuntu Touch left a very good impression me. It just
happens to be based on QML and QtWebEngine also.

That sounds like a match in heaven. :-)

Cheers
